Crafty books

Phew. As you can see me lovely header is back up there. I got a little panicky when it just disappeared yesterday ☺

On to one of my favourite subjects - books.

I love the crafting books by Ute Menze. Unfortunately for all you English-speakers out there, they're in German and haven't been translated as far as I know. However the beautiful layout and the gorgeous pictures and crafting ideas speak for themselves. If you are just a little bit crafty you won't need to understand the text. These books are ideal for people who love cross stitching, embroidery, patchwork and sewing. It is full of adorable details, and all the projects can be easily adapted to suit ones taste. The books are available on Amazon.

Help!!! What happened to my header?

I swear I didn't do anything to the layout...I mean why should I?

This is all I need! Can anyone help me? PLEASE!!!!!!

*Addendum 24th Feb

thanks for your quick response everyone! I think there was an error in Blogger when I tried to log on...then I tried to refresh the page and my header had disappeared! Including the image of the purse. The 'pinkrose' is just the background design. I will need to contact the designer, I think.

**Thank you, Sheila, for your immediate response and quick action - my header's back!!!
